Decide WellSo many decisions racing .. tonight was easy. Go to the gig, Tash. Go to the Kings Arms and listen, ears pounding and blood racing. Watch forearms and bodies beat and throb in time with the thudding bass. Smile as the crackle of live-ness starts to etch itself on your skin again. Simple decision. Smile and stand on the tips of your toes to see the glimpses of magic in between the swaying heads and shoulders of the crowd. Smile and embrace the dear friends and reassure yourself that the network of this appearance won’t make you disgenuine. After all, you paid the price for authenticity at the door, checking the list twice and forking over ten bucks. He’ll be paying for it later but smile and nod, he’s hitting the rhythm right on strum and looking amazing in that red shirt. Embrace the tall one and the shorter one, let the eyes gleam a little; just enough to ensure that both interests are held, theirs and yours. Let the melodies protrude from the the chaos for a moment. Breathe deep. You’re at the gig, and it’s good. The room is still just as big and just as small. There are so many beautiful people in the room and they’re all soft enough to smile back.

Song Of The Moment : Stay Or LeaveDave Matthews

Maybe different but rememberWinters warm where you and iKissing whiskey by the fire With the snow outsideAnd when the summer comesIn the riverSwims at midnightShiver coldTouch the bottomStarry nightWith muddy toes

Stay or leaveI want you not to goBut you shouldIt was good as good goesStay or leaveI want you not to goBut you did

Wake up naked drinking coffeeMaking plans to change the worldWhile the world is changing usIt was good good loveYou used to laugh under the coversMaybe not so often nowBut the way I used to laugh with youWas loud and hard

Stay or leaveI want you not to goBut you shouldIt was good as good goesStay or leaveI want you not to goBut you did

So what to doWith the rest of the day’s afternoon heyIsn’t it strange how we changeEverything we didDid I do all that i should

That I coulda done

Remember we used to danceAnd everyone wanted to beYou and meI want to be tooWhat day is thisBesides the day you left meWhat day is thisBesides the day you went

So what to doWith the rest of the day’s afternoon heyWell isn’t it strange how we changeEverything we didDid I do all that I could

Remember we used to danceAnd everyone wanted to be you and meI want to be tooWhat day is thisBesides the day you went babeWhat day is this
